ForewordThe recommended practice stated herein applies specifically to the qualification of subsea components and is based on established industry standards or supplemental practices as discussed below. This RP can also be adapted by others in the industry to aid in standardizing and streamlining their qualification processes.

The component categories presented in this RP are based on those listed in API RP 17A. These component categories allow for component-specific forms, such as the failure mode assessment (FMA) and the product qualification sheet (PQS), which are described in this RP to be used as a means of identifying any qualification gaps and documenting the qualification limits of the project subsea components, respectively.

The FMA approach is based on a simplified version of a Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis, which is often used as a design tool within the industry. This tool applies specifically to components and equipment for offshore developments. The objective through use of the FMA is to systematically ensure the technology functions reliably within specified limits. The FMA is used to identify component-specific failure mechanisms and critical design features and to aid managing qualification gaps.

8


IntroductionThe purpose of this recommended practice (RP) is to provide a systematic, structured framework for subsea equipment qualification. General requirements, recommendations, and overall guidance provided in this RP may assist various users in areas requiring consideration during qualification of subsea components and production systems for the petroleum and natural gas industry.

This RP defines functional requirements to suit component qualification specifically for subsea developments and operations. This RP is intended to perform the following functions:

― To facilitate and complement the decision-making process rather than to replace individual engineering judgment.

― To provide qualification guidance where industry requirements may not exist.

― To provide a mechanism to document and communicate component technical requirements and control potential component changes with equipment suppliers and their supply chain.

9


Subsea Equipment Qualification

1 Scope

This RP provides guidance on relevant qualification methods that may be applied to facilitate subsea project execution. Qualification of subsea equipment is based on a breakdown of individual subsea components and categorization of those individual components based on classes of equipment and component functionality. A comprehensive component-level breakdown can cater to wide flexibility for field-specific configurations. The qualification process presented in this RP is governed by component-level evaluation and referencing using two separate forms of documentation: failure mode assessments (FMAs) and product qualification sheets (PQSs). Detailed documentation resources related to the proactive qualification methodology presented in this RP are provided in the annexes to this RP. These resources include an index of components and individual PQS documents. Documents relating to manufacturing inspection and Factory Acceptance Testing are outside the scope of this document.

4 Application

Through this RP, operators can identify and track—in terms of technical definition, qualification, and quality assurance (QA)—a set number of common components to be optimized in various system configurations across a number of projects. Qualification forms discussed in this RP may be used for various levels of item qualification.

The approach and tools presented in this RP can be applied in the following ways:

― Focus the evaluation at the component level within the system hierarchy.

― Reference supplier component identifiers to confirm technical definition.

― Systematically identify item failure modes and mechanisms and the acceptance criteria necessary for qualification of an item not specifically listed within this RP revision.

― Enable a robust management of change process with respect to the qualification documentation.

4.1 Component Classification

Component-level classification in this RP is consistent with the component categories listed in API RP 17A. FMA and PQS documents are based on the subsea-specific components as classified in Annex A. This practice is intended as a guide to improving subsea component qualification by specifying recommended tests as well as a documentation process. Operators and suppliers may need to reassess component qualification limits, as required, for different field configurations and operating conditions. This reassessment might include developing additional component PQSs not specifically listed within this RP revision or excluding components as dictated by the situation.

4.2 Failure Mode Assessment

The FMA templates allow operators to proactively identify failure modes and associated risks and to test components and equipment prior to project execution. The FMA template, provided in Annex B, also provides a systematic way for operators to identify additional qualification tests required to further qualify a component to ensure its longevity or manage component technology extensions or upgrades.

Operators and/or suppliers may use FMA templates to identify critical qualification tests and acceptance criteria that encompass testing of potential failure mechanisms. The FMA process allows for increased visibility of failure modes and acceptance criteria, which in turn allows for improved qualification testing as full life-cycle requirements are better understood. The information presented in the FMA templates can lead directly to the qualification testing presented in the PQS documentation as well as serve to incorporate equipment lessons learned or field experience. Again, operators and/or suppliers may need to reassess components based upon the qualification testing performed on that component relative to the components' intended service conditions.

4.3 Product Qualification Sheet

Application of the PQSs aligns operators and suppliers for offshore development projects, emphasizing uniform display of qualification information. Specifically, application of PQS documentation can

― Document service conditions, qualification testing for failure mechanisms, and the basis for acceptance.

― Reference reports, standards, and other supporting information imperative to subsea component qualification.

16


― Provide historical qualification information on a component-specific basis.

A fully completed PQS can be used as the final documentation of the item's qualification acceptance. Annex C presents generic component datasheets for subsea. Based on industry needs, operators and/or suppliers may need to incorporate new datasheets for newly established components or technologies.

5 General Sections of Qualification Documents

This section presents the general content and information included in the different sections of the FMA and PQS forms.

5.1 Information Structure of Failure Mode Assessments

The information contained in the FMA templates possesses the same structure per component. The FMA structures information into the following categories:

― General component identifier information, including supplier, bill of materials (BOM), and assembly drawing references

― Failure mode identification number for line item referencing

― Description of item associated with component

― Summary of functional requirement for the item

― Description of failure mode

― Identification of failure mechanism

― Keyword descriptor of failure for referencing

― Summary of the qualification method to test for failure

― Acceptance criterion or criteria for failure mode, including applicable industry standard references

The FMA for each component will list failure modes by line item reference numbers and component groups. The information in Section 6.1 of this RP discusses requirements for accessing and using information in an FMA template.

5.2 Information Structure of Product Qualification Sheets

The PQS aids in achieving qualification and reliability objectives by presenting standardized groups of information for each component as follows in this sub-section.

5.2.1 Component Identification

Component identification information includes the following:

― Type of component or assembly and description

― Suppliers and sub-suppliers

― Part number or identifier and BOM numbers

17


― Drawing (DRWG) numbers

― Assembly procedure number

― FMA or failure mode effect and criticality analysis (FMECA) reference number

― TRL number (Reference API 17N)

5.2.2 Service Conditions and Operating Parameters

Information on end-users service conditions and specific operating parameters may include the following:

― Water depth

― Operating pressures and temperatures

― Process media

― Design life

Additional service conditions and specific operating parameters (operator) may be required. The component PQSs provided in Annex C, provide example conditions. Additional lines have been provided for other project service conditions and operating parameter references.

5.2.3 Qualification Testing Requirements – Existing and Supplemental Practices

The Qualification Practices sections provide the following information:

― Performance verification requirements

― Applicable industry standards and codes

― Supplier test procedure and report number references

― Scaled or tested qualification practice implemented

Note: Additional recommended qualification tests, which are currently not specified by existing API documents, have been provided in the PQSs Qualification – Supplemental Practices section. Additional lines have been supplied within both the PQSs Qualification – Existing Industry Practices and Supplemental Practices sections for operator and/or supplier test requirements not captured within the current PQS templates. Any testing not specified by API is at the discretion of the supplier and may or may not be requirement of the operator.

Supplemental operator or supplier engineering requirements can be attached to specific PQSs or provided in this section as and where appropriate.

Information on design validation includes the following:

― Applicable industry standards and codes

― Supplier procedure and final report references

18


Design and development validation requirements do not supplement qualification activities but are intended to ensure that the component is capable of meeting specified service conditions for intended use. Design validation may include the following:

― Prototype tests

― Functional and/or operational tests

― Field performance tests

― Existing industry standards and/or confirmation of compliance with regulatory requirements

5.2.4 Interfaces

Information pertaining to supplemental interface testing, not already included in API, may include the following:

― Applicable running tools, including component identifier

― Specific test equipment or simulators, including component identifier

― Comments regarding specific interface service or functional requirements

5.2.5 Additional Comments

The PQS does not document prior component field history, which may be considered field proven by an operator or supplier. If field history is to be considered, relevant field history should be reviewed with the component supplier to confirm whether historical applications can be considered adequately field proven. Following assessment of field history, component criticality should be assessed to determine if existing field history is deemed adequate or if additional qualification is required. The following criteria may be used as guidance:

― Project name

― Operator

― Similarity of the component to proposed design

― Component service location within the prior subsea system application

― Start-up year and approximate duration in service

― Service conditions

6 Requirements

6.1 How to Use the Failure Mode Assessment Templates

To identify failure modes for each component, operators and/or suppliers may use the FMA templates or another FMEA/FMECA format that includes all the required information. A separate FMA may be available for each applicable subsea component. The FMA should present failure modes and mechanisms for each item associated with a component and reference each failure mode by specific part

19


number or identifier. Those failure modes should be tested, accepted, and documented to ensure that the component can withstand the service conditions indicated.

Operators may use the information contained in each FMA template to identify any gaps in supplier's qualification methods for their respective components. Any additional qualification testing that the operator deems as required to complete the qualification of the component for its intended service should be agreed between the operator and supplier during the appropriate stage of a project or evaluation process.

Using the information contained in each FMA template, operators and suppliers can also qualify new components by agreeing to and performing the listed qualification testing to achieve the acceptance criteria associated with the respective qualification method. Should any part of the component fail to meet the acceptance criteria, operators and suppliers can use the information provided in the template to identify and document the specific failure mode of the component.

Operators and suppliers can use the qualification information in the PQSs (e.g., functional requirements and qualification methods) to communicate the requirements for qualification performance verification and assurance, acceptance testing, and quality control. The information presented in the FMA templates can directly transfer to the PQS documents to convey qualification requirements to suppliers.

Operators and suppliers may use established failure mode information based on previous industry experience. Operators and suppliers may add information to these templates, including new failure modes and acceptance criteria based on better-understood knowledge of component life cycles gained through development and industry experience (i.e., field-based and research-based reasoning).

6.2 How to Use the Product Qualification Sheets

Annex C of this RP contains templates for developing PQSs. For each component and for each size and rating of each component, it is recommended that the supplier or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) should maintain a standard PQS that uses a unique component identifier and states the design parameters, size, rating, testing records, and limits of qualification of the component, but does not include operator specific data. The yellow shaded and unshaded areas of template are intended for the supplier to complete.

The operator should also develop their own PQS documents for each component intended for deployment in a project that documents field-specific service conditions, parameters, and applicable standards or specifications. Depending on field-specific conditions and component-specific FMA acceptance criteria, requirements for qualifying a particular component may change. The blue shaded and unshaded areas of the templates are intended for the operator to complete

To judge the suitability of a supplier's component for deployment in a given project, an operator can request a PQS from the supplier and compare the information from the supplier-prepared PQS to their actual service conditions as documented in the operator-prepared PQS.

The application of the FMA and PQS documents described above is also shown in Figure 1 below.
